Scene 3

The King visits the Cardinal on his deathbed, but the old man does not recognize him. He is riddled with thoughts of Gloucester, and tries to protest his innocence, giving away his guilt in the process. He dies without making any sign of hope in God. The King characteristically refuses to judge him. (33 lines)

Enter the King, Salisbury, and Warwick to the Cardinal in bed, raving and staring as if he were mad.
